	Thomas Stockham - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Thomas Greenway Stockham, (December 22, 1933-January 6, 2004) was an American scientist who developed the first practical digital audio recording system, and pioneered techniques for digital audio recording and processing as well.
		Dr Stockham played a key role in the digital restoration of Enrico Caruso recordings, described in a 1975 IEEE paper "Blind Deconvolution Through Digital Signal Processing." These recordings were the first ever to be digitally restored by computer, and were released on the album "Caruso-A Legendary Performer" by RCA Records in 1976.
		Stockham's developments and contributions to digital audio paved the way for later digital audio technologies, such as the audio compact disc and DAT (Digital Audio Tape).

	Derivative Works: January 2004
		Stockham and his colleagues were not alone in their quest for digital audio.
		Soundstream and Dr. Stockham first captured the public's attention in 1976, with the release by RCA of "Caruso: A Legendary Performer." It was the first in a series of Caruso's early 20th century recordings to be digitally remastered by Soundstream.
		Early in 1974, Dr. Stockham and other panel members reported that the gap was caused by at least five separate erasures and rerecordings, not by a single accidental pressing of the wrong button on a tape recorder, as the Nixon White House had suggested.

	Commentary: Thomas Stockham from Bill Hammack's Engineering & Life Radio Program
		Due to Thomas Stockham we now have a generation that doesn't know what a vinyl record or a turntable is. He pioneered the science of digitally recording music, which is used to make compact discs.
		Stockham focused on ways to improve these signals - a photograph can be blurry, or a sound might have extra noise like a hiss.
		As Stockham recalled after this session, digital recording "became afire then; people who had never talked to me before started calling me on the phone and saying, why didn't you tell us it could be this good?" Over the next few years he recorded over five hundred records.

	IEEEVM: Thomas G. Stockham
		Thomas G. Stockham, Jr., is often called the father of digital recording in honor of his pioneering work in the fields of digital recording and tapeless editing.
		Stockham and a team of engineers and technicians began perfecting the art of making digital master recordings with a computerized editing system and pioneered tapeless hard disk editing.
		A highlight of Stockham’s career was a 1975 paper published in an IEEE journal, which was called “Blind Deconvolution Through Digital Signal Processing.” In this article, Stockham discussed his work restoring (through digital techniques) old phonograph recordings of famous Italian opera singer, Enrico Caruso.

	Tom Stockham and Digital Audio Recording
		Companies such as Denon had been experimenting with digital recording since 1971, but Stockham was the first to make a commercial digital recording, using his own Soundstream recorder in 1976 at the Santa Fe Opera, and demonstrating the recordings at the fall 1976 AES convention.
		Stockham played a key role in the digital restoration of Enrico Caruso recordings, described in a 1975 IEEE paper "Blind Deconvolution Through Digital Signal Processing." He helped in the 1974 effort to recover the 18-minute tape gap made by Rosemary Woods on President Richard Nixon's White House tape:
		Stockham developed the first homomorphic compander to digitally filter noise from recorded sound, similar to the noise reduction devices of DBX and Dolby.

		Straight ahead was Stockham Hall, only two stories high on the surface, but imposing in lateral expanse and extending, I had been told, several hundred feet underground.
		Bits and pieces of the knowledge sealed within the walls of Stockham Hall had managed to seep out every ten years from the writings of a few obscure researchers—whose ranks, for some equally dim reason, I desired to join.
		Although by 1990 most serious record collectors had wholeheartedly embraced the compact disc (the mass market belonged to the analog tape cassette), a highly vocal minority insisted that analog LP was the best-sounding medium.

	1977 Thomas Stockham Soundstream Digital Recording System
		For those who believe “digital” began with digital audio workstations in the late 1980s, it’s important to remember that the first commercial digital recordings were made using Dr. Tom Stockham’s Soundstream Digital system in 1977.
		After demonstrating some opera demo recordings at the spring 1977 AES in L.A., Stockham was invited by Lincoln Majorca of Sheffield Records to cut The Art of Fugueing album on his Town Hall label.
		Always looking ahead, Stockham’s paper in the October 1977 Journal of the AES predicted future records on pocket-sized, 490MB digital discs, holding 60 minutes of music sampled at 42.5 kHz.

		But it was his pioneering work in digital sound for which Ingebretsen, who was 54 when he died of heart failure Sunday at his Salt Lake City home, received an Academy Award in 1999.
		Ingebretsen and his mentor, former University of Utah professor Thomas Stockham, invented technology that translated analog sound into a digital format -- a discovery that eventually led to the development of compact discs.
		Ingebretsen commuted from Utah to Los Angeles, where he supervised the new digital recording for the 1982 re-release of Disney's "Fantasia." He and Stockham also made what is believed to be the first digital film, a 20-second portrait of a human hand.
